Sources of Han D�cor: Foreign Influence on the Han Dynasty Chinese Iconography of Paradise (206 BC-AD 220)

Sources of Han D�cor: Foreign Influence on the Han Dynasty Chinese Iconography of Paradise (206 BC-AD 220)

Using archaeological data to examine the development of Han dynasty Chinese art , Sources of Han D�cor focusses on three major iconographies , together with a series of minor motifs . All of these are combined in what may be considered the most important iconographic creation of the Han: images of paradise. While influence from the Chinese Bronze Age on Han art is expected, a surprisingly profound debt to Greece, the Near East, and the steppe is evident not only in the art of the Han era, but in that of the preceding Eastern Zhou . Initial Eastern Zhou incorporation of this largely-Western influence appears concentrated in chronological parallel to the Orientalization of Greek art and the eastern spread of Hellenism , followed by repeated introduction of foreign motifs during the Han, when these influences were fully integrated into Chinese art.
